In summary, it has not been made clear why existing infrastructure (dual carraigeways) and the major source of work and transport flows (HS2 stations, Birmingham and motorways etc) have not led to housing being proposed in areas where this access is ideal. Instead, growth for Balsall Common is proposed at the opposite side of the village, maximising the pressure on the village's traffic capacity. Access to bus routes should not be a restriction on housing developments as you can simply change the bus routes to suit.
